The new South Charlotte Relief High School is set to open for the 2024-2025 school year.  Students zoned for Myers Park, South Meck, and Ardrey Kell will be impacted.

CMS has proposed some or all of Sharon Elementary zoned students currently zoned for Myers Park be diverted to South Meck to back fill the student vacancies left by rezoning some South Meck students to the Relief school.

This potential rezoning is to the detriment of Sharon Elementary zoned students and their families. Some of the reasons to stop the rezoning of Sharon students are the following:

• Family disruption - particularly to those that will have current students at Myers Park
• Distance to school - Myers Park is the closest high school for Sharon Elementary zoned students
• IB continuation for students currently enrolled in the IB curriculum, as well as those that attend IB middle schools
• Guiding principles for HS zoning use in-tact elementary schools as feeders for the most local zoning (i.e. do not split Sharon Elementary)
• Housing development around South Meck, Ardrey Kell and the new Relief school continues to bring additional student enrollment to those school zones.  Myers Park development is leading to a decrease in student enrollment making the change unnecessary
• Dual enrollment at CPCC for many students at Myers Park reduces on-campus students, therefore reducing utilization of on campus resources, classrooms, parking, etc.
• Newly elected school board members will be forced to vote on the boundaries without adequate time for research and community feedback
• Less disruption to students and families should be the guiding principal of CMS until it is proven a change is necessary 
• The community is overwhelmingly in favor of keeping Sharon Elementary zoned students in-tact and zoned for Myers Park

Please sign the petition to keep ALL of Sharon Elementary zoned students at Myers Park High School.
